Hello!

First you have to find the price of everything together

2 magazines for 9.95 each and a book for 14.95

9.95 + 9.95 + 14.95 = 34.85

Next you convert the percent to a decimal

6% = 0.06

Now you put a one in the ones place

1.06

Multiply this by the cost of everything

34.85 * 1.06 = 36.94

The answer is $36.94

Hope this helps!
